New five-day Peaky Blinders tour, northeast England

There’s a blinder of a tour in store for fans of the BAFTA award-winning TV show Peaky Blinders. Leading coach company Bakers Dolphin is encouraging travellers to don 1920s gangster garb for their new Peaky Blinder tour, which visits filming locations in Manchester, Arley Hall, Liverpool and Port Sunlight. The tour is led by Blue Badge Guide – and huge Peaky Blinders fan – Julie Kershaw, who graduated as the Institute of Tourist Guiding’s “Guide of the Year”, so holidaymakers know they’re in safe hands as they delve into the murky world of the Shelby TV crime family. Fans of Coronation Street can choose the tour of Coronation Street and MediaCity UK studios, another option from Bakers Dolphin’s new Autumn-Spring 2018-19 brochure.
